I picked up Sufjan Steven's Illinoise a few weeks back. I've given it a
few listens and so far am underwhelmed. Good lyrics, nice concepts,
nice instrumentation, but overall I'm not finding much in the "strong
hook/melody" department that will be bringing me back to this one again
and again - or at all... in fact, kinda boring to me, so far. Now that
it's been out a while, does anyone else care to comment? Often, folks
push the flava of the month, but time will tell what the classic disks
are. So, Illinoise - flava of the month from a year or so ago, now
forgotten? Or a pop classic?
